The Spirit of Organization Every second and fourth Wednesday is anxiously awaited, since this is our club day. Every student can belong to one club of his choice and be also a member of the Beta Club if he meets the specified requirements. Each organization is sponsored by a fac- ulty member who freely gave of his time to help prepare the student for the future in our world of competing, sharing, and working to- gether. Much enjoyment and appreciation are de- rived from some of the clubs, particularly the Art Club and the Drama Club. Leadership and citizenship are developed in our club ac- tivities. Certain projects are undertaken by the different clubs. For example, the Busi- ness Club has balanced its books by selling ball point pens and candy. Other activities have been devoted to selling fruit cakes and preparing the annual Christmas baskets for the needy families of the community. Organization is the very heart of school spirit; furthermore, it enables the students to realize the importance of working together to achieve their goal. ACTIVITIES

Jimmy Ervin, SCA p r e s id e n t , Jorita Prater, district chairman, and Gladys Roop, adviser, attended the SCA state workshop at Radford College in August, 1965. The work- shop seeks to develop and help students in the SCA program of their school. Castlewood SCA sponsors the assemblies and for the September assembly, they presented students who had attended institutes, workshops, and such conventions to tell of their experiences as to encourage other students to take ad- vantage of such opportunities. The SCA plans to sponsor delegates to Girls ' State at Rad- ford and Boys ' State at Williamsburg. They did so in 1965 with financial help from Cas- tlewood Lions Club and Lebanon Womans Club. 30 Jimmy Ervin, president of the S.C.A. presides at the first assembly.
